A few more days...

Hey friends!

Just a few more days until my surgery and I am feeling great!  All fear and nervousness has left.  It must be because YOU are praying!  Thank you!!

My parents made it to Texas yesterday and are enjoying their trip.  Tonight they are staying just East of San Antonio and will arrive late afternoon tomorrow here in Houston.  Glenn and I can't wait to see them!!

So today I had to start the evening showers.  They asked me to take 2 showers a day, 3 days prior to surgery and to use antibacterial soap.  Is that normal?  This is only my second surgery, and my first one wasn't planned (emergency gallbladder removal), so there was no prepping for that. 

Tomorrow is the last day of the liquid (shake) diet, as Wednesday is only clear liquids for me, and nothing orange or red.  It's hard to believe that those colors actually mask themselves as blood in your system.  Who invented all these processed things like food coloring anyway?

Many of you have asked me if there is something you can do for me, thank you!!  PRAYING is really the only thing I need.  Prayers that the surgery goes better than could be expected.  Prayers that none of the possible complications will happen.  Prayers for all the things I've already shared!

Thanks again for reading and praying!  I am praying for YOU too!!

Joyfully,
~ Stephanie
